Description

DESCRIPTION
Title of Invention TFIERAPEUTIC AND/OR PREVENTIVE AGENT COMPRISING

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a therapeutic and/or prophylactic agent for pain comprising a 1-indanesulfamide derivative, a salt thereof or a prodrug thereof.
Background Art

[0002] According to Classification of International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), "pain" is defined as "An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage"
(Non Patent Literature 1).

[0003] Pain is generally classified as being acute or chronic. Acute pain is pain that has been present for not more than three months. Acute pain begins suddenly and is sharp in quality in most cases. Acute pain may be caused by many events or circumstances, such as surgery, broken bones, dental treatment, burns or cut, etc. Chronic pain is pain lasting for not less than three months. Common chronic pain includes headache, low back pain, cancer pain, arthritis pain, neuropathic pain, psychogenic pain (pain occurring in the absence of physical cause of pain, such as past disease or injury). Neuropathic pain, which has also been translated into neurogenic pain, is refractory pain resulting from damages or diseAges to the peripheral or central somatic sensory nerve system, including diabetic neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia, and postherpetic neuralgia (Non Patent Literatures 2 and 3).

[0004] Pain is a common medical problem, and relief of pain is an important therapeutic goal. Pain is most commonly treated with analgesics. Analgesics are roughly divided into three categories: (1) opioid anAlgesics; (2) nonopioid analgesics, such as anti-inflammatory steroids, acetaminophen, and dipyrone; and (3) "adjuvant analgesics" (a diverse group of drugs which are known as "drugs that do not have an analgesic action as a primary pharmacological action but may enhance an analgesic effect when used in combination with analgesics and show an analgesic effect in selected circumstances").
While opioid analgesics provide a strong analgesic effect by acting on the opioid receptor in the central nervous system; their use is limited because of their serious adverse drug reactions and dependency. Although nonopioid analgesics have an analgesic effect, the effect is weak and various adverse drug reactions may be induced. In addition, no therapeutic drug effective for chronic pain such as neuropathic pain associated with diabetic neuropathy, higeminal neuropathy and herpes zoster has yet been found, and the development of a drug effective for a broad range of pain, including acute pain and chronic pain, has been desired.

[0005] Although a variety of analgesics are currently available for the treatment of pain, huge unmet medical needs still exist in pain treatment Recent reports estimate that an adequate analgesic effect on acute pain is realized only in one of four patient undergoing surgical treatment (Non Patent Literatures 4 and 5). In addition, inadequate treatment of acute pain may lead to a variety of symptoms, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, fatigue, decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting. Further, unrelieved acute pain may progress to chronic pain.
On the other hand, as concerning chronic pain, WHO estimates that 20% of population of the world has some degree of chronic pain. Chronic pain has a significant impact on both direct health-care costs and associated indirect costs (for example, disability payments, lost productivity). Because adequate relief cannot be achieved in approximately 40% of patients with chronic pain, chronic pain is now considered to be a significant public health problem (Non Patent Literature 6).
Effective treatment for acute p.m and chronic pain still remains an unmet medical need of many patients. Therefore, it has been strongly desired to develop a therapeutic agent effective for acute pain and chronic pain.

[0006] As animal models of acute pain, models for evaluating transient pain, such as tail-flick test, a flinch/jump test, a hot-plate test, a pinch test are known.
As a model for acute persistent pain, a fonnalin test is used. (Non Patent Literature 7) On the other hand, as models of chronic pain, a rat chronic constriction injury model (CCI model) and the like are known. Classified by the cause of pain, the CCI model is considered to be a disease model corresponding to neuropathic pain. (Non Patent Literature 8)

[0007] As sulfamide derivatives having an analgesic effect, low molecular compounds disclosed in Patent Literatures 1 and 2 are known. 1-Indanesulfamide derivatives with an analgesic effect have not been known, however.

In addition, the present inventors conducted a study using the mice fonnalin test to confirm an analgesic effect on acute persistent pain.
The compound disclosed in Example 1 of Patent Literature 1, (N-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-ylmethyl)sulfamide), and the compound disclosed in Example 7 of Patent Literature 2, ((15)-(-)-N-(6-chloro-2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-2-ylmethyl)-sulfamide), were prepared according to Patent Literatures 1 and 2 and used as reference compounds (1 and 2), respectively.
[00761 (Test Example 1) Mice Hot-plate test The mice hot-plate test was performed to determine the efficacy on acute pain.
In this model, latency to the first pain response is recorded as a measure of pain sensitivity (Malmberg, A. and Yaksh, T, Pain. 1995,60: 83-90).
<Methods>
Male C57BL/6NCr1Crlj mice (Charles River Japan) aged 6 weeks (n = 4 to 10, for each treatment) were used for this experiment. The hot plate (model MK 350, Muromachi Kikai Co. Ltd.) was set to 53 C. For oral administration, the test compound was suspended in an aqueous solution containing 0.45% methyl cellulose/4.5% Cremophor/10%
dimethyl sulfcaide to prepare a suspension having a dosing volume of 10 ml/kg and the suspension was administered orally 60 minutes before the hot-plate test Morphine was used as a positive control and the mixed solvent (vehicle) alone not containing the test compound was used as a negative control.
Emir mouse was placed on the hot plate and a stopwatch was immediately started for measurement. The latency time to the first pain response (paw lick or escape jump) was measured. The cut-off time was set to 30 seconds in order to avoid overdamage of the tissues, and the mouse was immediately rernoved from the hot-plate after measurement All data are expressed as the mean SEM. All statistical analyses were performed using Holm-Sidak's multiple comparisons test. The p-values less than 0.05 were judged as statistirally significant in this experiment.
<Results>
The results of the mice hot plate test are shown in Figure 1. The latency times to the first pain response were significantly increased by pre-administration of Test Compounds 1, 2, 3 and 4.
These results show an analgesic effect of the test compounds on acute pain.
[0077] (Test Example 2) Rat chronic constriction injury (CCI) model The rat chronic constriction injury (CCI) model was used to determine the efficacy on the chronic pain_ In this model, tactile allocbmia, a typical symptom in chronic pain patients, can be evabisted by using a response threshold against mechanical stimulation by von Frey filaments as an index (Bennett, G J. and Xie, Y K, (Pain 1988; 33:
p87-107).
<Methods>
Male SD rats (Charles River Japan) aged 6 weeks (n=4, each treatment performed twice in total) were used for this experiment The rat chronic constriction injury (CC1) model was prepared in accordance with the method of Bennett and Me above.
The common sciatic nerve was exposed at the level of the middle of the thigh by blunt dissection through biceps femoris under isoflurane anesthesia Four ligatures (4-0 silk) were tied loosely around the sciatic nerve at about 1 mm spacing. The biceps femoris and the skin were sutured.
On 14 days after surgery, efficacy of the compounds on tactile allodynia was evaluated. The animals were housed in wire mesh bottom cages for 30 minutes prior to the start of the experiment for acclimation. The test compound was suspended in an aqueous solution containing 0.45% methyl cellulose/4.5% Cremophor/10% dinnethyl sulfoxide to prepare a suspension having a dosing volume of 10 ml/kg and the suspension was administered orally. The above mixed solvent (vehicle) alone not containing the test compound was used as a negative control. The response threshold against mechanical stimulation was measured by the application of von Frey filaments at bending forces (0.4, 0.6, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 15 g) to the plantar surface of the hind paw in accordance with Chaplan et al. (J Neuroscience Methods 1994; 53(1): p.55-63) . The von Frey filaments were pushed to the paw for 6 seconds to evalnqtr escape response. The 50% response threshold was determined in accordance with the up-down method of Dixon (Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology 1980; 20: p.441-462). The measurement was performed before administration and at 30,90 and 180 minutes after administration. All data are expressed as the mean+SEM. All statistical analyses were performed using Two way Repeated Measures ANOVA followed by Dumas test The p-values less than 0.05 were judged as statistically significant in this experiment <Results>
The results of tactile allodynia in CCI model are shown in Tables 7, 8, 9 and 10. Test Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited a statistically significant analgesic effect at 50 mg/kg.

These results show an analgesic effect of the test compounds on the animal model of chronic pain.
[0080] (Test Example 3) Forman test The compounds were examined in the second phase of the formalin test to detennine an analgesic effect on acute persistent pain. In this model, the duration of responses induced by pain (behavior such as licking or biting of the formalin-injected paw) is used as an evaluation index pubuisson and Dennis (Pain, 4: p.161-174 (1977)).
<Methods>
Male CD1 (1CR) mice (Charles River Japan) aged 5 to 6 weeks (n =6 to 16, for each treatment) were used for the experiment. The responses induced by pain were measured by an automated behavioral analysis apparatus (MicroAct (Neuroscience, Inc.)) according to detection of changes in magnetic field. Before the day prior to evaluation of pain response, a small magnet for the detection of changes in magnetic field was implanted in the left hindlimb instep under isoflurane anesthesia.
For oral administration, the test compound was suspended in a solution containing 0.45% methyl cellulose/4.5% Ceremophor/10% dimethyl sulfoxide to prepare a suspension having a dosing volume of 10 ml/kg and the suspension was administered orally.
The mixed solvent as above (vehicle) alone not containing the test compound was used as a negative control. Gabapentin was intraperitoneally administered as a positive control A
2.5% formalin solution was prepared by diluting Formaldehyde Solution (Wako Pure Chemical Industries) with physiological saline (Otsuka Pharmaceutical). At 40 minutes to an hour after administration of the test compound or the positive control, 10 I of the 2.5%
formalin solution was subcutaneously injected in the left hindlimb pad. The mouse was placed in an observation chamber immediately after administration for measurement For evaluation of an analgesic effect in the second phase, the duration of behaviors such as licking or biting of the paw was measured by the automated behavioral analysis apparatus from 15 to 45 minutes after injection of the 2.5% formalin solution.
All data are expressed as the mean SEM. All statistical analyses were performed using the Holm-Sidales multiple comparisons test The p-values less than 0.05 were judged as statistically significant in this experiment.
<Results>
The results of the formalin test are shown in Figure 2. As shown in Figure 2, the duration of the pain response was statistically significantly shortened by pre-administuition of Test Compounds 1, 2, 3 and 4. These results show an analgesic effect of the compounds hi an animal model of acute persistent pain.
